Chapter 526: Rose-Inventory (Part )

Case Seven Rose
Twenty-five Inventory (Part 2)
The sound of the hourly chime before the evening news "hissed" and went around in Uncle Song's antique radio that was about to be scrapped for a long time before it stumbled to the ground, making a few loud noises. A frivolous whistle floated out from the mirror of the sink at the end of the corridor outside the interrogation room, humming an indecipherable tune of some ditty, and the tip of his shoe occasionally tapped on the bricks under the sink that were used to raise it to prevent leakage, as if he was keeping a messy beat to the movements of his mouth.

Liang Ming has been very familiar with the city bureau recently. He is so carefree when he goes out to relieve himself, as if he is in their own office building. He glanced at the policeman who was waiting for battle half a step behind him, raised his hand and wiped his eyebrows with water. He was dragged to the city bureau for interrogation after waking up from a sleepless night. He whistled at Zhou Xiaomiao who was walking by with a folder through the mirror. Before he could raise his eyebrows and start a conversation, Uncle Song stood up with his antique and blocked Liang Ming's harassing sight, and pointed his chin at him with his neck stiff.

"What are you looking at?"

"I'm not admiring the policewoman--" Liang Ming turned around slowly and replied half a sentence in a long voice, but the young policeman who was holding the belt beside him smacked his tongue and said "Behave yourself", which was not very deterrent. He sneered and quickly raised his arm with handcuffs dangling as if in surrender, and saluted again, with his fingertips resting on his forehead in an awkward manner.

Yin Guiping had just swallowed two blood pressure pills because of this unyielding playboy. He leaned back behind the interrogation table, raised his eyelids and glared at Liang Ming, who was shaking his head. He also glanced at Gu Xing, who was irritated from smoking. He picked up the folder and slammed it on the table: "I told you to go to the toilet, but you are here shopping?!"

"I drank until the early hours today, Captain Yin... I was caught here before I even woke up and you questioned me about everything, and you put such a big hat on me without any reason..." Liang Ming was playing tricks on me, but his arms and legs were really like those of a drunk. He snorted and glanced at Yin Guiping, then leaned back in his chair and sighed, "Let's not talk about whether it's unfair or not. I'm still dizzy. Can't I just walk slower?"

"Stop beating around the bush and trying to evade responsibility!" Yin Guiping was too lazy to beat around the bush with him, and slammed the table with a frown: "I'll ask you again, the jewelry processing factory under Lou Yao and Lou Xin's name-"

"I'm not beating around the bush, sir~" Liang Ming frowned and leaned forward to interrupt Yin Guiping's harsh question: "... After all, I should be the one who doesn't understand, right? According to common sense, this factory building is still the land of the workshop, and it is clearly registered under the names of Lou Yao and Lou Xin. You should know everything about checking people's household registration. Why did you find me instead of Liang Ji when you found the white powder in the factory?! It's neither my mother nor my uncle. How can I evade responsibility for this shabby house that has nothing to do with me?"

Yin Guiping had just swallowed two blood pressure-lowering pills, and the effect hadn't yet taken effect. Liang Ming choked him and he raised his triangular eyes, "Shengchengji Speed--"

"You have been investigating the manager of Shengcheng Jisu for some time. Do the things he did have any direct relationship with me? What did he want to do by strolling in that empty factory? How can I control it?" Liang Ming sneered, "Does it mean that I encouraged him to break the law knowingly just because I signed a labor contract and paid insurance? That's not how you cheat..."

"The situation at the factory, after all, was a clue dug out from the surveillance footage of the Shanqian bar run by Luo Shi. After all these twists and turns, it can't get around you, a Buddha... Besides, if you really have nothing to do with the goods in the workshop, how can you say you cheated? Isn't that - all's fair in war?"

Gu Xing finally rubbed his face which was filled with depression from a few cigarettes, took out the uncomfortable mobile phone from his trouser pocket with his back hand, put it on the table, and stacked it on the high files, "Anyway, we have been coming here frequently recently, just treat it as... cooperating with the investigation, routine inquiry." "Cooperating with the police investigation is the great responsibility of Mr. Luo as a good citizen, there is nothing wrong with it, I will do whatever you want, it's just this routine inquiry--" Liang Ming shook his wrist, which was "ding-dong-dang", "I've never brought this before, Captain Gu."

"It's okay to take it apart and put it back on later. It won't take a moment."

Gu Xing raised his eyes and quietly stared at Liang Ming's eyebrows. Seeing that he didn't seem to have an exaggerated reaction of "being betrayed" to the hidden secret of "Luo Shi providing clues", he probably concluded that the meeting of this pair of "bad buddies" was most likely related to the situation that implicated Lou Xin and Lou Yao in the misfortune. Gu Xing waved his hand, signaling the policeman who had been guarding Liang Ming with a fierce face to come forward. He then lowered his eyes and slapped Yin Guiping's knee, who was still holding his breath and feeling angry. He rummaged through the documents on the table, took out two appraisal reports and waved them in front of Liang Ming's eyes perfunctorily, "We tracked down several old acquaintances based on the back door surveillance of the Shanqian Bar. Whenever these guys come here to drink and have fun, they will try their best to sneak into this jewelry processing factory without telling anyone. But among them, there are two who are more special..."

Liang Ming clasped his hands together, his fingertips slowly circling the knuckles, and glanced lazily at Gu Xing's hands: "What's the special method?"

"Generally, those who come to pick up the goods would sneak through doors, windows or dog holes, but near the iron door behind the spiral staircase in the factory, we extracted several relatively complete shoe prints and two fingerprints that were too blurry to be compared."

"One of them is Lou Yao. He said that although this broken factory is abandoned, there are still Lou Xin's posthumous works collected in the studio, so he occasionally comes back to visit and miss his sister who passed away early." Gu Xing put his arms in his arms and tilted his head. When he looked at Liang Ming and raised his eyebrows, his face was full of contempt, "Is there a problem?"

"It's not really a problem..." Liang Ming snorted coldly, "It's just that it's said that Lou Yao was really nice to Lou Xin when he didn't know his sister was a mistress outside, but later, he felt that his family was unlucky... But he couldn't bear to part with his sister's money, so after she died, he would toss around in Lou Xin's name every now and then... It's not normal for him to go to the broken factory to reminisce about the past, but it's understandable for him. What about the other one?"

"You should also be familiar with the other one, Hong Xinyu."

Gu Xing shrugged his shoulders, picked up his phone, took out a photo and handed it over.

"We followed his footprints all the way out of the processing plant and found another factory area. Mr. Liang looked at it. Does it look a little... familiar?"

Due to work and health reasons, I will be working on another day~
"Let's drink to the east wind and be calm together."
